Dang it was a nice day today 45 degrees a nice cool breeze a perfect day to break in the 87! I put 100 rounds through it today 15 1 oz slugs, 35 assorted 4 buck and 00 buck and 50 birdshot. I had zero malfunctions, there was a bit of a learning curve with loading and sight picture for slugs (there is only a front bead) anyway at 50 yards the slugs seem to dial in. In the picture the two on the right were my first 2 rounds. At 50 yards 4 and 00 buck were pretty much covering the whole target. At 25 the 4 buck it pretty good then in shot birdshot at 10 yards just to get use to the gun!
Man it this a fun shotgun!!! The thread about the eye pro made me wear my ever so stylish eye pro! 🤣 I wish I could post a video I made one of shooting six rounds as fast as I can work the lever… it worked!
